           A framework for distributed and {concurrent}
          software engineering which provides an alternative approach to
          traditional centralised software development environments.
       


          Decentralised process models are used to drive consistency
          checking and conflict resolution.  The process models use
          pattern matching on local development histories to determine
          the particular state of the development process, and employ
          rules to trigger situation-dependent assistance to the user.
          Communication between such process models facilitates the
          decentralised management of explicitly defined consistency
          constraints.
